[Bug 1844017] Re: xdiskusage not showing disk space properly in some cases
OK, debugging this more myself, I have determined that "xdiskusage " executes the du program with the -x option, which is documented to "skip directories on different file systems". The /media and /snap directories on my system contain subdirectories that are apparently mounted as different file systems, so that seems to explain the existing behavior.

It is definitely not most directories that cause this behavior -- only a few. Another example I have found is /mnt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1844017 Title: xdiskusage not showing disk space properly in some cases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdiskusage/+bug/1844017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ugh, sorry. Scratch my previous comment about the /mnt directory exhibiting this behavior -- I have not observed that. I have observed this difference in behavior between du and xdiskusage with the /media directory, though. And those are the only two top-level directories on my Ubuntu 18.04.3 system that I have observed this behavior with, after trying them all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1844017 Title: xdiskusage not showing disk space properly in some cases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdiskusage/+bug/1844017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
